17. An European project + the Metropolitan Administration of Barcelona
Goals:
1. Learn how to construct urban dunes
2. Learn how to manage the huge demand of cultural ecosystem services of the urban dunes.
25. We have developed a new system to transform marram grass plantings in to
efficient sand-trapping systems
Marram grass as natural capital (dune builder)
Marram grass as natural capital and core element of a nature
based solution
42. There’s a big chance for a management plan of the
emerged sand budget, combining precise LIDAR
information, dune construction, beach profile
reconstruction and coastal lagoon excavation
A nature-based solution for
coastal defence and climate
change adaptation.
44. We are modelling scenarios for RCP 2.6 (57cm SLR and 25 m of beach
regression, yr 2.100) for the different factors: wahsover risk, erosion, flood
events,...
45. But adapting fast to much more
near ones!
